Roozlilone PJ/TR Saying "I Do" Again 7/17/08...Processional & Vows!

[padisneyfour]

They sound like they will be very nice and def. a keepsake! Great idea!

 

[roozlilone]

WOW! It just dawned on me! I have exactly 3 months to go!! I've been so busy lately with "real life," I haven't had time to focus on the VR. I've still have so much to do, and only 3 months to do it in, GOSH!

My TO-DO list:

Getting my DD's dresses altered (Not sure how late to wait, you never know how kids are going to grow)
Shoes for my DD's (I have 2 daughters with BIG adult feet, it's been hard finding appropriate shoes that fit)
Welcome Bags (Haven't even started)
Our Rings (We haven't even picked them out yet)
Finish Family Tshirts (Almost Done)
Earrings & Necklace for me (Don't know where to look)

The lockets came in the mail, Oh, I just love them! They have "Ohana" engraved on the left side and a family pic of us at the WL on the right. It is going to be the perfect gift for them!

I've been trying to take a picture of the locket to post, but it is so small and my camera is so crappy, it's just a big blur!

Tops on my to-do is picking rings and starting welcome bags. I need to get going.....3 MONTHS and COUNTING!

 

[padisneyfour]

I am so excited for you... the lockets sound perfect! would love to see a pic if you can get one! take a breath and enjoy!

Your to-do list looks very manageable. The locket sounds wonderful. What a precious keepsake!
Can't wait to hear about your ring search.

 

[Mermaid_Ariel]

3 months!!! You must be so excited!!! I can't even imagine!

I'd love to see the locket!! What a wonderful idea!

 

[Keira1387]

3 months!!! It will be here before you know it!!!

It just hit me! After deciding on doing the lockets for Kaitlyn and Hannah, I started searching websites and found this great site: www.picturesongold.com You pick the locket, upload the photo and they will place the photo in the locket for you and then you pick the wording and they will do the engraving! It's so cool. I picked a sterling silver locket and I'm going to upload a family pic of us at the WL and then on the left hand side I'm going to have the word "Ohana" engraved. I'll post a pic when they come in. Thanks again for all the great ideas, it really helped!!

Wow what an amazing site. I am thinking of those for a possible gift.

Hi Guys!
Well, I need some emotional support and some advice today....first I'll start with the good news. We were out-of-town this weekend, went to Destin, FL for a soccer tournament (Hannah, 8, plays on a competitive 10 year old boys team) I'm a very proud Mom! Anyway, I wasn't even looking for a cake topper, I was actually fine with the Mickey & Minnie that comes with the cake, but we were just killing some time in between games so we went to the Outlet stores. They had a Lenox outlet and in the window....staring right us was the Lenox Minnie's Dreaming Wedding Cake Topper, on clearance for $19.99!!! Well, I knew that had to be a mistake. We went in and sure enough, originally $95, now $19.99, and it was the last one!! I just love it....and I think it will look really nice with the cake we selected with the gold mickeys and trim. Here is a pic:

Here is another pic of the cake we are going to have, I think the gold will look good with the cake:

Now for the not-so-good news that I don't know how to handle. My oldest sister (who I'm not so close to or get along with very well...that's another story) just informed me she "might not be going." As you can see we are under the 3 month mark and she still hasn't made a ressie! She is the only one that has not!! She just "doesn't know" in her words!! Well, that will really affect our DP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The DP is the one thing I really, really want to do! She doesn't care she is stressing me out in anyway! The problem is my DP was moved to the UK Upper Terrace, which requires a 20 person minimum!! If my sister does not go, we would be at 17 total!!! Does anyone know if I can still do the DP if I'm willing to pay for 20? Does that make sense! I'm so-not-happy right now, it's not funny. All this time she has been saying, YES I'M GOING!! Should I give her a deadline? UGH! I need a hug!

my DH came up with for my when we were dating. I add the "lilone" on to it because he always calls me "lilone." Rooz is so special to us that he got me a personalized license plate for my birthday a couple years back with "Rooz" on it. Rooz drives everyone crazy (especially my family) because noone knows what it means or how to say it, simply put it means love for us!

Here is the dress I ordered from Alfred Angelo. I haven't even tried it on yet!! It should be here in a couple of weeks! I can't wait!!!

Here is the invitation I made for our VR:

Well, here I am in my dress. Not quite like what the model looks like in the dress, but I still love it! The length is even perfect!

I LOVE THE DRESs and it looks GREAT on you!!!

 

[lov2b@disney]

Your dress looks great on you!

I think they will probably charge you for 20 even if you dont have 20!

 

[Swmhc]

I am pretty sure you can have it with less, but just have to pay for the 20 people. Also, I know someone recently brought containers to take leftovers back in (maybe lurkyloo) and they let them rather than throw them out. So if you have to pay for more and have food left, you might see about doing that !

 

[shezfrombermuda]

What a good find! The cake topper will look great on top of the cake. Actually, with the gold trim it looks like it was made for your cake.

I would call and ask to make sure less people are okay for the dessert party rather than stressing and waiting for your sister to decide if she is going.
I don't see why having three people short would matter but good luck!

We can do that??? I would LOVE to bring ziplocks to bring the extras home instead of wasting!

Big Hug Roo! My guest list has been a HUGE STRESS to me! I know exactly how you feel! We need to have a min of 40 people for our reception venue and until a week ago I was at 39 people!!! I was really stressing out and then we got four more guests. Please find out quick if you can still have your DP where you want it to be and if everything is fine - tell your sister to SOAK HER HEAD!!!!

I just received this email from my Wedding Coordinator:

We can change the guest count up to 72 hours before the wedding. So what that means is say you're at 21 right now for the Dessert Party and two back out two weeks before the wedding, I would reduce the count to 20 people because you need to guarantee at least 20 people. We would never cancel the DP. Make sense?

I feel better, but my sister's attitude still irritates the heck out of me! She won't even return my call or email!

 

[padisneyfour]

That is a fantastic buy- I LOVE Lenox! You never know what you can find, even when you aren't looking! anyway, I am sorry about the troubles with your sister! It will all work out fine in the end....

Great find on the cake topper!! I keep looking on Ebay for the Lady and the Tramp ones, to go anywhere below $75. no such luck so far. So sorry about your sister! Instead of doing the DP with DFTW, is there a a way to possibly use Grand gatherings? Or will they still have the 20 person minumum? I hope everything works out!

Thanks! Unfortunately, because of the location, UK Upper, the location requires a 20 person minimum. I was originally booked for Morocco, which is the opposite, 20 person maximum. I just didn't like the Morocco location and was lucky enough to be switched to the UK Upper, so I definitely don't want to give it up!

 

[roozlilone]

Yipeee, AP codes just came out and we switched from Port Orleans to the AKL (our absolute fav resort of all time) and we added dining! AND.....it's paid in full! I'm so excited! If codes didn't come out we would have settled for the moderates, we just couldn't afford the AKL full rack rate with all the other expenses of the Vow Renewal!

It's getting closer, yet I've done nothing on my to-do list...I've been so busy with travel soccer and school. It's been crazy, but it's made the time go by faster, so no complaints!

 

[29apr00]

Yeah for switching to AKL!! I loved it there and would think dh would like it too, but not something for our kids. So we're thinking of VWL or maybe BWV.
